Is BSNL capable of competing with the new Reliance Jio Fiber plans?

For me it's the other way around... I want higher speeds and don't care much about FUP increase. In my household monthly usage hardly crossing 200 gb
But how is it attained with higher speeds u can download more data per time which also increases data usages right, even a speeds test takes 200 mb on a 100mbps plans
 
If fups are increased people will use higher speeds for longer times thereby straining on the lco devices , so even if bsnl increased fup without increasing speeds it can affect lco devices putting strain on them.
That is flawed logic. There exists a point where everyone is under fup (at the start of the month for example). That goes fine without OLT's catching fire when everyone's using for the first 15-20 days.
 
I hope BSNL starts expanding its FTTH reach directly without LCO involvement. At least in areas where it already provides ADSL directly. The BSNL lineman of my area told me last year that FTTH sucks and you should stick to ADSL, people are coming back to ADSL from FTTH. I was like wtf, fiber will be better in every way and got it. Used it for an year till I got Jio earlier this month, the speeds were good but the reliability was just not there. Downtimes were very common. I don't remember our BSNL ADSL going down ever.
 
Bsnl is going to raise money through bond issues . Final approval has been given by govt. In this was we can hope they will raise money for direct fiber deployments. But still rural areas it will be lco basis I think, even airtel is looking for lco model for rural areas

did u have any connection with BSNL officials? How come ur adsl never go down?
 
My ADSL was rock stable as well, we knew one line man there, after years of complaining they redid the whole wiring. Replaced the old cable (you know the kind with two wires on either side with some white material between them) with some new coaxial looking wire with shielding (had two white and blue wires inside it with a thick black outside skin).

It was perfect, stayed perfect until it broke somewhere, BSNL switched to contract people who couldn't care, we stayed offline for a month with 10kb and eventually ended up on fiber.

Moral of the story: Be friends with someone at the exchange.
 


Saw a screenshot of an email circulated through social media regarding new fiber broadband plans of BSNL wef Oct 1st 2020

Can't confirm if it's official but looks legal though


Plans are :-

Fiber Basic - 30mbps unlimited - no ott subscriptions - 499 + tax

Fiber Value - 100mbps unlimited - no ott subscriptions - 799 + tax

Fiber Premium - 200mbps unlimited - Hotstar Premium subscription - 999 + tax

Fiber Ultra - 300mbps unlimited - Hotstar Premium subscription - 1499 + tax
 
@dhyaneshwar94 idk man, the ADSL was rock solid. We used it for more than 10 years, no big issues. We used BSNL FTTH for less than an year, and I was looking for another option after just 6 months. It may also be a coincidence that when we switched to fiber, BSNL also went down financially and had a big VRS, that may have affected it too.
